Which part don't you understand in the literal interpretation of verses of 5-6:
Quote
And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. 6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

READ IT LITERALLY. Clearly the word disgrace is there. Ask yourself, what does the passage indicates what the "cover" serves to do ... to hide what is shameful and disgraceful. This is very apparent from the verses above.

Of course God wouldn't do such a thing, that's why the figurative interpretation makes sense (read what that is in my previous posts)! It's what's consistent to the rest of Scriptures! And no, it's not insisting at all times ... as the literal interpretation states that when she prays or prophesies. Read the passage. It is when those times that her head is marked as an object of scorn. That's the literal interpretation, which of course I object to as I've explained above.
